Initial D Arcade Stage was awesome, with the card save system and all. Upgrading your vehicle and racing other people at the arcade was cool. The Lancer Evo IV rules!

My favorite arcade game of all time was Missle Command :). I spent many a roll of quarters on that game :). I also liked Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac Man & Ms. Pac Man.. Another game I liked but can't for the life of me remember the name was trackball football. It was very similar to this:

I also like the older Area 51 and there was this cool fantasy and dragons shoot 'em up I played once, it was very old but the guns were shaped like dragons...

Oh and another old shoot 'em up I played was this Terminator 2 game.

The original Mortal Kombat, Final Fight, Area-51 and House of the Dead. You can't forget about Cruisin' USA either.

But then again, it's only a northern song...

Martial Champions (a forgoten game but one I loved, and damn near bought at one point)


This game was deff better than the less successful Marital Champions.

But for me it would Be

Street Fighter 2

and honestly I dont think I really played any other arcade game too much.

maybe the basketball shooting game a Chuck E Cheese's
